Advising at Emory evolves with you. In your first two years, you’ll receive academic and career guidance through Emory College or Oxford College, where advisors help you explore your interests and plan your path. As you move into your final two years, advising becomes more focused within your chosen school—Arts and Sciences, Business, or Nursing—with mentors and career specialists who connect your studies to professional goals and real-world experience.
During your first two years, whether you begin at Emory College in Atlanta or Oxford College in Oxford, Georgia, you’ll be supported by advisors and mentors who help you explore your interests, plan your path, and make the most of every opportunity.
Depending on where you start—Emory College in Atlanta or Oxford College in Oxford, Georgia—academic advising begins with professional advisors and faculty mentors who help you explore majors, meet degree requirements, and build a strong academic foundation.
Whether students start at Emory College in Atlanta or Oxford College in Oxford, career advising begins at the Pathways Center. Here, students discover their interests, gain experience, and prepare for meaningful careers that align with their goals and values.
During their junior and senior years, advising is based on each student’s chosen major or majors. Students can pursue double majors across different schools, accessing resources and guidance from both. For example, about 40% of Emory business students also complete a major in the College of Arts and Sciences, receiving advising support in both areas.
Depending on a student’s school and major, academic advising is offered through the Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, or Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. Students pursuing a dual degree work with advisors from both schools, receiving comprehensive guidance and support across their fields of study.
